Virginia Father Shoots and Kills Two Men Who Break Into His Home (VIDEO)

A 25-year-old father opened fire on three armed intruders, who kicked open his door in the middle of the night Sunday, killing two in the process. Now he, his son, girlfriend and mother have relocated out of fear the third man will come back.

The front door, where one suspect was killed.

The incident happened around 3:30 in the morning when the trio kicked in the front door. The young father told the local CBS affiliate that “it sounded like a car running into the side of the house.” The crash woke him and his two-year old son, who was sleeping next to him, up. The father then grabbed his gun, which was located nearby, and when he saw the armed intruders, opened fire.

One suspect fell dead inside the house while the other collapsed in the front lawn. The third suspect fled on foot as the father dialed 911.

The Prince Edward County Sheriff’s deputies that responded to the 911 call used dogs to search for the third suspect, the Richmond Times Dispatch reports, and were able to track the suspect to a highway, where they believe he fled in a vehicle.

The two men killed by the homeowner are still being identified, and the third man has yet to be found.

The Govt. ain't taking nothing away. Oh, they will try, but there are millions that will either not comply, or will actively resist. I know four guys with machine shop equipment, that say if they ban anything, they are going to start cranking guns and parts out themselves, including things you're not supposed to have. I don't doubt their plans one bit. This is a free nation, and it will remain such, by any means necessary.

Mike Davidsen and Aj Jenson yeah buddy, all we need is and old monarch turret lathe and nice trusty bridgeport and a few grinders. next thing ya know they will put a hold on bar stock and other materials!

Mike Davidsen you forget they control our schools if they can't gett his generation to give their guns they will brainwash the next to do so on top of the immgrates they bring into the county not to metion voter fraud

Shame on Obama and everything he's done and what's to come..."Obama Care"...add 30 million to our medical system, amnesty to illegals & add them for free & cut benefits from now existing seniors & force all buy his version...not to mention what is to come with sequestration...our country won't be able to defend our own borders...he is out to undermine us and our milarty power!! Pray for our country..God bless!!

Many of the current firearms, such as an AK just needs some minimum machining to build. The frames are stamped out sheet metal with a few holes drilled in them. The hard parts are the barrel, bolt, carrier, trigger and hammer. Almost all of the rest could be made by someone with minimal skills in a third world country which is why they are so popular there. I imagine a Glock frame will be getting printed out here soon with some of those 3 d printers. It's time for ALL FREE MEN EVERYWHERE TO BE ARMED and to MAKE their governments respect their rights.

I would have launched ballpoint pens at them, that's the ticket <sarc>....He did the right thing. That family should've left, should've stayed put and the neighbors should help out by keeping an eye out for the perp that got away. If the perp is smart, he won't try that again or he will end up dead too. Their appears to be a dog house out front. My advice: Get a good junkyard dog like a Rottweiler (they are good family dogs too)

Hey that isn't sarcastic. That's what one of the lead psychopaths claimed would work. What's its name? Biden or something? And what was that "homeland security" said to do? GRAB YOUR SCISSORS? Yea right.

Hey Joe Biden, great thing this guy didn't waste his shells firing blasts in the air! He and his family would be dead by then. Thankfully he saved his child, and as a bonus, no wasted taxpayer dollars for trials on these dead thugs!

Glad he & his son were not hurt. He did what he had to do without hesitation & many would be victims are now better off because of his actions. I hope he feels that he was not only justified in his actions but it was required of him as a father.Thank God he was ready.

On the subject of Biden and his stupid double barrel shotgun firing shots in the air...lets assume he had a double barrel shotgun. Was the father supposed to come running at the criminals as they busted down the door, saying "excuse me, let me get by you guys for a second here" while running out the door to fire those shots in the air...wasting one or both shells in the gun, making it empty...would that have been the answer? Would that have had good results? Criminals don't get limits on weapons, why the hell should we? The only thing we should be limiting is a criminals life span...not the amount of ammunition you can have to end a criminals reign of power.

by my thinking if you take that shotgun and fire it and the slugs or XXX buck hit the scum bags that is shooting in the air, the shot did not hit the ground first you did shoot air between you and the scumbags...

Had to chuckle at your rape whistle comment, though neither rape nor whistles are anything to laugh about. Interesting article, but it is my gut feeling that only you, this Virginia father, and a handful of others would be "ready" in such a situation, and that is why if there are hostiles in the midst, I'm teaming up with you. I can't aim and shoot yet, but I sure can roll, dive, duck and cover. GLOL (grim laugh out loud.)

Whistles aren't anything to laugh about? Whistles are a serious matter, kids. roflcopter
And you can put me in that prepared column as well. There's a glock on my nightstand and a Mossberg on my wife's side of the bed. Nobody who breaks into our house is leaving under their own power.

Christina Castro I practice at least 2 times a month with my 9 mm and it's important so I can be ready. You can do it...I'm going to buy my wife a .380 a Sig Sauer P238 or something similar in the same caliber. Take charge of defending yourself! The Dems with their ballpoint pens, call boxes, bodily fluids and other INSANE ideas certainly don't have a clue. Be strong and just take the plunge!

J Camaron Rogers Yep, Beretta 9mm here with the Rem 870 pump in my house too. Have the same value system, I see. Getting a .380 for the miss's and a basic .45 1911 to follow. Oh, the Ruger 10/22 can help too if need be. That's my son's rifle!

Andy Snyder Believe it or not Andy, the guy who runs Front Sight pushes dry firing practice. It keeps you from learning bad habits so when you do real live fire you aren't flinching. I concur with him. I have a laser target and laser cartridges for 9mm, 40 S&W and .45 ACP.

Christina, get a 45 ACP, take some CCW classes, and you will not only be able to aim and fire, you will know the law in your area and when you can and shouldn't shoot for you onw legal safety. But you will learn tactical maneuvers that will either make the bad guys go away, or put you into a position where it is legal to shoot with deadly results. Rememberer always aim at the largest body mass don't try to "wound" them with a leg shot, and don't try a double tap between theyesys unless you have the range time and experience to know you will hit the mark 110% of the time.

Brian, while I agree with you I find it hard to believe that this thug will choose the path of righteousness. I believe he'll continue down the path of thuggery and be a leech on society until he meets his maker.

What is truly important here is that a FAMILY was saved while criminals were killed. It is a crying shame our Administration cannot look at it this way! No criminal should have more rights than law abiding citizens trying to protect their families and homes.

Anyone who tells us that guns in the hands of law-abiding people should be limited is a villain of the highest order. Do these politicos HONESTLY believe the criminals will be stopped by any LAW that is passed? They are law-breakers by definition.

Be it understood. Laws do not stop crime. They
create crime. For every law that is passed a new crime is defined that
previously was not a crime. The more laws, the more crime. The more
crime the more the idiots ask for more laws making things a crime that
were not. Laws can only define a punishment for committing the crime
that the law creates. We need less laws. Less laws will drop the crime
rate drastically. Just think of all those people in cages for committing
the heinous act of smoking a joint.

My guess is it's the same reason they spew statements about high capacity "clips" and how semi automatic firearms are actually "automatic weapons" and how they fire "thousands of rounds per minute.." It is intentional misinformation and lies designed to gin up the fears of the urban and liberal suburban masses that are completely ignorant of firearms, the law and the Constitution.

Nice shooting Dad! However, I will NOT let the BASTARDS run me out of my house. You were ready for them the first time, stay ready should that coward try to come back. Give him a double dose for good measure. End of lecture.

There is much to learn from this -- including the importance of keeping your firearms accessible and ready for use. Locked in a gun cabinet, they would have been useless as seconds clearly mattered. Furthermore, run through these sorts of scenarios in your head and practice. How quickly can you jump out of bed and have finger on the trigger pointed at an intruder?

Ohhhh, How Terrible. Why didn't he Just PISS on them, they would have ran away (NOT), Toooo Bad he didn't KILL the Third One. THIS is the way to stop the Home Invasions, forget what BIDEN and OBUMMER Has to say, they are Just IGNORANT Rubes and they think we HillBillies are Stupid. Sic Em Guys and Gals. Be Ready to Bust A Cap in Home Invaders Asses.

I am a naughty, naughty fellow. If some asshole (s) kick in my door they will be greeted with a naughty 30 round clip of 7.62. If anyone is still moving I will use my Sig Sauer P220 (.45 ACP) filled with the best hollow point ammo to be had. My motto is, "Don't frig with, my property, wife and dogs. I was a grunt in 1968, I was ruthless then and have not changed one iota.

You don't need to shoot the men. Just point that thing outside your balcony and fire a few rounds. That'll 'learn 'em! Felonies committed and a dangerous lack of understanding of Newtonian physics notwithstanding...
